We can limit ourselves by the stories we tell ourselves. If we’ve defined ourselves as quiet and thoughtful, we may rarely speak up in a meeting. If we’ve defined ourselves as brash, we might never make the effort to become gentler and more intentional in our communications with others. If we’ve defined ourselves as “not good with numbers” (or big ideas), we will probably never dig into the numbers or allow ourselves to come up with – or suggest – the big ideas.
